Bentley - Front Brake Inertia Balancer.

This is to confirm having handed to you prints of GB.2324/5, details of Balance Levers for the above experiment, so that hand forgings can be got going.

Though the detail says S/M we suggest they should be made in Nickel Steel until it can be demonstrated that S/M is adequate.

Other details are following as quickly as we can produce them.
